Gregg, searching around yesterday I found a discussion on people tryingto put a tweet fromanother webpage (e.g. you are visiting my webpage, and on it there is a "tweet button" that if clicked will allow you to post whatever you write on twitter). They said that any hastag symbol # put in a url tells the system to ignore anything which comes after it:so in your case I would say it would ignore your tinyurl if you put the hastag infront.
